Still wearing the KCS white scheme with the original small cabside numbers. 692 would finally receive the grey and yellow scheme in 1998 and end up in storage in 2010 having never worked for another railroad other than the original buyer, KCS.

KCS 692 is on the point of Q-156 at Ridgefield Park, NJ 9/15/1999. It is a miracle this photo exists at all as the rain that is falling in the photo is the first rains of Hurricane Floyd that would hit the area full force the following day flooding my home and destroying everything that was in my camera bag. I had debated developing the film that was in the destroyed camera. I am glad I did since this was one of the few images that wasnt damaged on that roll of film.
